"Incidents" like this are never a surprise: protesters took over the Housing Authority of New Orleans (HANO) headquarters on Friday. All I can say is..... where have you been, guys? Last Tuesday even I knew there might be a "take over" of the facility - we understood it would be on Wednesday - with a couple busloads of people. But the "incident" never materialized on Wednesday. Or on Thursday.
Showing up two days late with only 20 people (mostly from out-of-town) doesn't quite sound like a mass outpouring of anger, now does it?
Look, HANO does have it's share of problems. But knowing what I know first-hand about this one, I think they're getting a bum rap. HANO is in a "damned if they do, damned if they don't" situation right now. - take action, get sued; take no action, get blamed.
